a study of resistance to infectious diseaseand the behavior of antiserums

IMMUNOLOGY and SEROLOGYBy Philip L. Carpenter

This new book explains what is currently known about immunology and serology.It studies resistance to infectious disease and the properties and behavior ofantibodies formed within an animal in response to foreign antigenic substances.

To bacteriologists, botanists, zoologists, criminologists, and students, this bookoffers the helpful tools which assist in classification of bacteria, plants and animalsand the identification of their components.

ANEW

SAUNDERSBOOK

By PHILIP L. CARpWN-TER, Professor of Bac-teriology, University ofRhodeIsland. 351 pages,6%1 x 9X4¼", illustrated.

Neu-

Ready in January!

Controversial material is presented so that the student can see the field is youngand what developments lie ahead. The author covers nature of infectious disease,normal protection, susceptibility, types of immunity, laboratory production ofantiserums, chemical nature of antibodies, the role of lymphoid tissues and plasmacells in antibody formation, response to antigenic stimuli and the Rh factor.Antigens are fully discussed-classes, detection, properties and active chemicalgroups. Many tables and diagrams clarify test results, reactions and structures.

To provide familiarity with various technical procedures and to illustrate funda-mental principles a 27-page appendix describes experiments in serology. Methodsare carefully detailed in the first few sections, but as the student masters thefundamental techniques directions are given in briefer form.

Black-light provides a versatile toolfor the arts and sciences-in industry,research, medicine, biology andcriminology. Manifold uses arerapidly being extended, new technicsdevised in many investigativedirections-

Questions and answers help clarify terminologyQuestion: What is Black Light?Answer: It is a name applied to invis-ible ultra violet light, the band of en-ergy between the visible and x-ray re-gion of the spectrum.Questions: What are the regions of vis-ible light in Angstroms? In Microns?Answer: An angstrom is equal to 1/250millionth of an inch. A micron is equalto 10 angstrom units.Question: How many types of ultra vio-let energy are there?Answer: Broadly speaking, there arethree-short wave, middle and longwave.Question: What is short wave ultraviolet?Answer: It is that portion of the spec-trum from 1850 angstroms to 2800angstroms-also known as far ultraviolet. It includes the 1850A bandwhich produces ozone, and the 2537Aband, known as the "germicidal band",which effectively destroys airborne bac-teria, or surface bacteria of molds.Question: What is middle ultra violet?Answer: Middle ultra violet extendsfrom 2800A to 3200A. It includes thepeak "suntan" band of 2967A, the re-gion producing the maximum source ofVitamin "D". Sun "tan" is due to thisband of energy in sunlight, and pro-duced by sun lamps. It does not pro-duce useful fluorescence.

Question: What does the long wave in-clude?Answer: Long wave covers 3200A to3900A, also- known as near ultra-violetor Wood's light, below the usual lowerlimit of human perception at 4000A.Question: Which wave length is mostuseful to produce fluorescent responses?Answer: Long wave ultra violet, suit-ably filtered to exclude visible radia-tion.Question: Why is a filter necessary?Answer: Specially compounded filterstransmit essential "fluorescent" wavelengths, and cut off extraneous visibleenergy.Question: Why do we see blue light ifultra violet is supposed to be invisi-ble?Answer: We see usually only the resultwhen Black Light impinges on the sub-ject material which, in turn, respondswith fluorescence. This fluorescence, inorder to be visible, occurs in the region4000 to 7800A. Filters do not quite cutoff sharply at 4000A. Hence we see asmall amount of visible violet-blue.Question: What is fluorescence?Answer: Fluorescence is the visiblelight given off by an object ilmuminatedby black light-the result of a shift inwave length caused by the shorter-than-visible energy reflection beingconverted to longer wave lengths.

Question: Why are some materialsfluorescent and some not?Answer: Some authors attempt to listfluorescent materials, which would filla large book. For example, in examin-ing a surface to determine whether in-visible mold spores have begun theirgrowth, the material ordinarily wouldbe non-fluorescent, but the presence ofmold spores causes a pinkish, spottyfluorescence.Question: What are the colors of fluor-escence?Answer: Any color of the spectrum ora combination thereof.Question: Is 3660A ultra violet harmfulto eyes or skin?Answer: Authorities assert it is notharmful. Complaints against BlackLight are usually psychological. Ap-parent discomfort is caused by naturalfluorescence of surfaces of the humaneye, causing a sensation of fuzziness,sometimes annoying, but no proof thatit is harmful is extant.

In industry, product inspection andidentification is the greatest use ofBlack LightEach industry or process develops its own

technic. A few uses will exemplify others:-todetect cracks, flaws and other defects in metals,castings, ceramics, and plastics. The part isdipped in fluorescent dye, which penetrates thecracks or fills the flaws. The part is next washedto remove the surface dye, then examinedunder Black Light. Defects are immediatelyapparent. Leaks in gas or hydraulic lines canbe checked by injecting fluorescing materialinto the system.

Fluorescent tracers in powder form may beadded to slurries so that the proper coverage ofcoatings may be later evaluated under BlackLight. Powders may be added to rubber com-positions or paper pulp.

If invisible marking is desirable to date aproduction run, as on bags, paper or cloth, in-visible inks can be used. These become visibleonly under Black Light. Black Light applica-tions are infinite, using powders, inks, greases.

Uses in criminologyIn criminology, fluorescence of parts of the

anatomy is used to identify victims of amnesia,or will aid in the identification of bodies. Scartissue which might be invisible under normallight shows up under Black Light. Outlines ofbirthmarks or tattoos which may have been re-moved are often visible under Black Light.

Fluorescent powders are sometimes used todust valuable merchandise. This powder, norm-ally invisible, will transfer freely to a thief'shands, clothing, or automobile, and examina-tion under Black Light will tell the tale.Fluorescent powders are also used to mnrkpaper money; coins may be marked withinvisible fluorescent lacquer.

Typical uses in medicineIn medicine, for example, Black Light is em-

ployed in urinalysis and other clinical proce-dures. Fluorescent staining is used in micro-scopy for tissue differentiation. Fluorescein inthe anterior area of the eye provides a rapidmeans of detecting foreign bodies under Black

Spectrogram of BlackLights. Note broad con-tinuum of radiation, afeature of conversionphosphor-coated sourcetube.

Light. Corneal lesions, abrasions and ulcers arealso easily seen. Many skin conditions ordiseases of the skin and scalp are seen moreclearly orbecome visible only under Black Light.Additional data on medical applications is givenin BuUetin 542.

Examples of other usesStamps, rare books, prints, pictures, may be

examined under Black Light, which divulgesmarkings and tell-tale differences, otherwise in-visible. Insects examined under Black Lightshow marked characteristics. Tracer dyes, inksand greases will further aid in entomology,anatomical and physiological studies. Tracing

rodents is done by droppings caused to fluoresceby adding special material into foodstuffs. In-troduction of tracer powders into wash waterswill help check cleanliness of dishes, pots orpans. Identification of batches of grain andother foodstuffs, by introducing fluorescenttracers, is easily performed.

Prices, lot numbers, special batches, designson fabrics, dates,-even personnel identitycan be indicated by tracers that become visibleunder Black Light.Almost every science is aided by the use of

Ultra Violet Black Light, to demonstrate char-acteristics not seen under visible light. Potentialapplications are virtually innumerable.l_f. w~~~~~~~~~~r

GIVES WIDERAPPLICATION

THAN ANY OTHER

* WIDEST TOTAL RANGE

* MOST SENSITIVE CIRCUIT

* CONCURRENT TITRATIONS

* REVERSIBLE POLARITY

* GREATEST ACCURACY FOR

NON-AQUEOUS TITRATIONS

WIDEST APPLICATIONAn unequalled range of minus 1650 to plus 1650 millivoltsmakes possible certain titrations, particularly oxidation-reductions not within the scope of other instruments. Thisrange combined with superior sensitivity (10-13 amps) of-fers the analyst an instrument capable of performing everypotentiometric titration-aqueous or non-aqueous.

"MAG-MIX" MAGNETIC STIRRERSThese offer infinite control from a "barely-turning" speedto vigorous churning action. Eliminates a glass stirrer rodfrom the cleaning operation between titrations.

DUAL TITRATION INCREASES OUTPUTThe analyst can run two different titrations at the sametime-can almost double his work output. He simply switchesa knob to change from the left to the right side.

UNEQUALLED PERFORMANCEThe Precision-Shell Dual-Titrometer combines wide rangeand sensitivity with the ability to indicate directly to 2millivolts or .05 pH. The dial is such that interpolation toone millivolt-even less-is immediately possible.

SUPERIOR SENSITIVITYScale readings are easy because only 250

millivolts are actually included on the indi-cator dial. This makes the band narrowenough to clearly see as small a change as 10millivolts. The needle actually moves at least3 times as far in response to any potentialchange as it will on any other titrometer.

UNSOLVED CLINICAL PROBLEMSin biological perspective

Foreword by CURTIS BOK, ChairmanIntroduction by ESTHER EVERETT LAPE,Member in Charge, The American Foundation

VOLUME I. American Medical Research in principle andpractice defines medical research as rooted in biology,implying contributions from chemistry, physics, mathe-matics. The volume discusses the relation of medicalresearch to medical education. It illustrates the contribu-tions of various research agencies (universities, medicalschools, foundations, research institutes, national volun-tary health societies, industry, government). The con-cluding chapter discusses the ways and means of control-ling the products of medical research: patents, federalcontrols; standardizing influence of professional groups.VOLUME II. Unsolved Clinical Problems in biologicalperspective discusses contributions from basic researchto cancer, infertility, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, rheu-matic syndromes, tuberculosis, viruses, chronic alcohol-ism and schizophrenia.
